3.0/5 — The room was alright, fairly spacious and comfy. Close enough to subway stations + bus stops for travel. Also close to York Lanes Mall + cafeterias so food was accessible. A bit further from a lot of classes but overall pretty decent. Internet speed is very slow because it is further on the edge of campus. The bathrooms are all broken and dirty, also the carpets are very stained and gross. Lots of
2.8/5 — Def an interesting experience LOL. The washrooms quite literally have mold growing in it. From my experience, the people in my floor were kinda anti social despite the efforts of me trying to make friends. Location was nice since I was very close to Vari Hall and my classes but the dorm overall was just dirty and out dated. ALSO I lived fourth floor with no elevator so that sucked when I finished
3.8/5 — I had the single room in Founder's on the first floor, it was pretty alright for the most part but the lack of AC, the heating being too aggressive and there being no way to walk indoor to the nearest food spot was pretty bad. A plus is that room had thick walls so it was very quiet.
3.8/5 — Founders Residence is a solid choice for first-year students. The rooms are comfortable and have everything you need, and there are plenty of great study spaces throughout the building.

3.4/5 — Even though is one of the oldest buildings, it still manages to feel comfortable. Usually having a great community around, and its located at a perfect place to be close to classes and eateries.
2.8/5 — One of the cheapest dorms for a reason. Air Conditioning barley works even when right beside it. Location not bad but have to go outside in the cold to get food. Bathrooms pretty dirty but that's expected. The power sometimes dies also no elevator so living on the fourth floor sucks.
